Canadian singer-songwriter Maïa Davies, part of the band Ladies Of The Canyon, released her first French language solo album Héritage in 2012. Since a few years, she works with producer Gavin Brown (Metric, Billy Talent, The Tragically Hip) on her second long player Alléluia. Kevin Hearn (Barenaked Ladies) is involved as well.

The forthcoming album’s new single Laisse-Moi Libre (‘let me be free’) is a personal and autobiographical ode to feminism, and to the wish to remain independent, also in a relationship.
